QT is one of the longer compiles you'll do, but it should compile 
overnight on a modern machine.

Looks good to me.  Does it find and compile SQL?

You need to set $QTDIR=/usr/local/Qt.  Set it in .bash_profile, .bashrc, 
/etc/profile, or /etc/profile.d/*.  Or just type export 
QTDIR=/usr/local/Qt before compiling something.  The official place in 
mandrake for this is /etc/profile.d/qtdir3.sh.
